Chapter 90: A Sudden Conspiracy

Li Chengqian was hiding in the Taiji Palace to enjoy the coolness, Li Yuan was lying under the rocking chair and looking at the spring and autumn period boredly, picking up melons and fruits from time to time and nibbling on them, leisurely and comfortable, as if the struggle in this world had nothing to do with him at all, it was like a paradise here, compared with the disturbances of the outside world, this place was like a pure land, and no one dared to disturb it.

"Seeing that the day is coming, Xiao Chengqian, I should have prepared everything I should have prepared, 30,000 yuan, the good wine you have made these days, my grandfather will laugh at it."

Li Chengqian pouted slightly, don't say that it is 30,000 yuan for a barrel of wine, even if it is 3,000 barrels, how can I refuse? However, it is estimated that in his heart, he must have lost steadily.

"Grandfather Huang, look at it, if Cheng Qian's money all over the world is enough that day, Cheng Qian is willing to come to your Tai Chi Hall to repair it brick by brick." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows proudly at Li Yuan, but Li Yuan pouted at the Wang attendant on the side and said sarcastically.

"Enough money? This little thing is still addictive, even if you brew this wine into flowers, can you still buy a jar of every family in Chang'an? ā€

"Hey~ I really want the whole Chang'an to buy an altar, not only the whole Chang'an, but even those who can afford to drink all over the world have to buy an altar, and then the time is full of people who say that they will repair the Taiji Palace, how about your grandson rebuild a Chang'an City for you?"

"Poof~ Little toad, the tone is getting bigger and bigger." Li Yuan squirted ice water, then laughed, got up and fanned under the tree with a pu fan: "I heard that your father released Wei Zheng?" Now I know that it is a little late to pacify Shandong and Hebei.

"Don't mention him, I told him a story yesterday, I thought I could get some benefits, who would have thought that guy is becoming more and more unruly now, ping pong is a mess of beatings, and he will have to stay away from things in the future."

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, he turned his head to look at Li Chengqian and said, "What kind of story, tell me about it?" ā€

I didn't look at the old Li Yuan, so I told him about yesterday's events, who knew that as soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, he saw Li Yuan laughing: "You two actually regard this Manchu Dynasty civil and military as a miscellaneous fish, or a miscellaneous fish who is too lazy to move, the miscellaneous fish does not move, you are still like a-stirring stick, saying that it is to appease the old departments that have been built, but it is just to give the-stirring stick a promotion qualification, your father can see things more clearly than me." ā€

said a self-deprecating smile, fell heavily on the recliner, took the teacup in his hand, took a sip lightly, sighed comfortably, and said to Li Chengqian: "Study hard!" Look good! I will hand over the Tang Dynasty to you, and I really can't control whether he will prosper or decline in the future. ā€

This is the last advice of an old man, after this time, he will no longer give Li Chengqian and their father and son any hints in the future, since the road is chosen by himself, he must continue to walk, she and the Dou family are now only Li Shimin and Li Xiuning, one is hiding and dare not see himself, and the other hates the palace, and he doesn't even owe a glance here.

looked at Li Chengqian, who was squinting and pretending to sleep, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he still has blood after all, he really wants to see what he looks like when he grows up, I really want to see what he looks like when he reigns in the world, I really want to see how he pushes this Tang Dynasty to the top, is it possible? Li Yuan asked himself in his heart, but even now, Li Yuan would still answer in the affirmative, maybe, because Li Chengqian already had a high starting point, he would not let himself down.

Relatively silent, the light chant lying on the trunk of the tree kept chirping, making people's brains hurt, and the air seemed to smell something burnt, frowning and sniffing carefully, but something was burned.

"And the water? Such a big smell. ā€

As he was talking, he saw the smoke rising from the backyard of the East Palace, mixed with some noise that was not very real, Li Yuan also got up and looked, looking at the direction of the East Palace, then he frowned and glanced at it, turned to the Wang attendant on the side and said: "Tell the palace people that things are dry these days, be careful, don't go out of the water." He said and lay on the chaise longue, closing his eyes and saying nothing.

Li Chengqian, who was on the side, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, the back house of the East Palace, that is where he stored his new wine, and the matter spread out in just a few days? This fire came too timely, and although I felt that something was wrong, I didn't dare to make a conclusion.

"Imperial grandfather, grandson go back and have a look first." I saw Li Yuan frown slightly, and then said, "Be careful, after all, water and fire are ruthless." ā€

"My grandson knows."

ƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗƗ

The smell of sandalwood burning is very fragrant, you can smell it from afar, and if you get a little closer, you can already feel the heat of the fire, and the wine jar inside is bursting because of the burning, and the huge roar spreads throughout the entire East Palace.

"Cheng Qian, what are you doing, hurry up, don't get hurt!"

The eldest grandson frowned slightly, and looked at the palace in the distance with some distress, although this palace is uninhabited, it will cost a lot of money to renovate it, not to mention that this place has always been used as a treasury, and Li Chengqian's new brew is in it.

"Auntie, how can this good thing catch fire? Isn't there always someone watching the treasury? ā€

The eldest grandson was slightly stunned, this fire was only discovered after it was burned, and there were always people waiting on the edge of the treasury, so it stands to reason that if the treasury is on fire, it should be the first to be discovered by the guards.

"Who is on duty at the treasury today?"

The commander on the side looked palpitated, and then received it respectfully: "Back to the crown princess, it's Xu Hui, Zhao Gang, I checked the work in the morning, and the two of them are still there." ā€

"Are you sure they're both on the job? And not an outsider? ā€

The commander recalled, shook his head and said: "Wechen is sure that the two of them have always done things properly, so they let them come over to stand on duty, Wechen remembered that Zhao Gang told me in the morning that he would ask for leave for a few days." ā€

Li Chengqian squinted his eyes, and then stood aside and didn't speak, the heat wave in the distance continued to radiate around, and the leaves on the side had been dried up and scorched, if the fire was bigger, I was afraid that it would burn, and when he looked up, Li Chengqian seemed to find that something was wrong, if it was usually on fire, it must be from the house to the outside, and then rise to the roof, but the trees on the side were obviously the upper half of the house more scorched than the lower half, and even the lower half was just scorched.

"Who first discovered the fire?"

The commander of the guards thought for a moment, then pointed to a maid on the side and said, "It was Miss Xiaochan who found out first." ā€

The maid named Xiaochan saw the guard pointing at her, and she was a little scared for a while, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said to Li Chengqian: "I have seen His Royal Highness, I have seen the crown princess." ā€

Li Chengqian didn't say no, looked at Xiaochan and said: "Sister Zen, don't be afraid, this time is also a credit, and I will go to the account room to receive two pieces of money later." Hearing this, Xiao Chan put her mind at ease, exhaled and said, "I don't dare to receive the reward, but Concubine Yang asked the little one to come over those things, and I happened to see the water walking here." ā€

"Oh~ It turned out to be the third aunt's person, how far did the fire from Sister Xiaozen burn?"

Xiaochan frowned and thought for a while and said, "It's already burned to the roof, but it's strange, before the door burns, the roof began to catch fire." ā€

At this time, the eldest grandson also shifted his eyes from the fire, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "But what's wrong?" ā€

If it's right, there will be a ghost, here is shady, the surrounding trees are dense, it is not easy to catch fire, even if the weather is dry and dry, the fire cannot burn from the roof, and the two guards guarding the door have not come out yet, I am afraid that this fire is deliberately put by someone, but how this fire was placed, I still can't figure it out for the time being, I will tell the eldest grandson about these words one by one, and then whispered to the commander on the side: "Commander Liu, tell a few brothers to guard the exit, don't alarm the people around, see someone out of the palace, regardless of others, When you go out, you will be arrested and interrogated one by one! ā€

The commander is also a good person, listened to Li Chengqian's words, turned around and waved to a few henchmen and left the fire, leaving a few people in place, watching the fire slowly swallow the palace, the water poured into the fire was like pouring oil on the fire, and did not play any role in extinguishing the fire, but added to the fire, the eldest grandson pinched the handkerchief with both hands, just now Li Chengqian's words were to say that this fire was deliberately set by someone, although I don't know who set the fire, but this thing is really annoying.

The eldest grandson also reacted, gently tugged on the sleeve of the pothos, and did not say anything, the pothos had already turned around and disappeared into the crowd.

The fire lasted for two hours before it was rescued, it was said that it was saved, it was better to say that this palace was no longer combustible, and there was no burning to burn, from the beginning of the road Li Chengqian had been standing in the distance, his eyes were getting colder and colder, until the last trace of fireworks was extinguished by the water, Li Chengqian ignored the pull of the eldest grandson, and entered the fire for the first time, the remaining smoke was not exhausted, and a trace of sandalwood fragrance permeated the entire palace, and the beams and bricks were scattered in place indiscriminately, not a few sounds, There was nothing in the room that could be recognizable as it was, and even the finest bronze mirrors had been burned to a puddle of bronze by the fire, not to mention the liquor syrup.

"It's a huge loss~ Xiao Banyue's hard work is lost in one day!"

Li Chengqian hammered his hand hatefully, looking at the things inside was very painful, seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival was over, his perfume and wine syrup were all stored here, without these, how could he still win the bet with Li Yuan?

"Your Highness! The bodies of Xu Ren and Zhao Gang were found, in the forest to the west. I'm afraid I'll be led over. ā€

"Are there any wounds?"

"The neck has been cut by a knife, and it will kill with one blow, and he is a master." After a pause, he said, "And it's a master who knows them well." ā€

"Good! I know, the two will be buried thickly, the military merits will be transferred three times, and the bereavement pension will be doubled! Let's see what other clues there are. ā€

"Your Highness is benevolent! The subordinates retired. ā€

The eldest grandson stood outside the hall, watching his son command all this like a real general, and his heart was indescribably proud, but when he saw the villain in the smoke frowning, he felt distressed again, and she hated those who set fire to her own house.
